Video games are there today -- computers and mocap rigs all the way down. Still they are approaching hollywood movies in terms of budget. Tangled and Avatar are some of the most expensive movies of all time. There are…
After spending some time exploring different functional languages, if FP does make it at all - my money would be on Haskell. There is something to be said for focused languages that does one thing but does it really…
Yeah, I'm absolutely not advocating an invasion. Best thing that can happen is a successful revolution. It seems to have been close last time so there's still hope.
You need to learn enough Java to get around, and how to interact with it through Clojure. Java libraries are very comprehensive and well documented, but if you're fresh to both languages the learning curve is steep.…
Freemium is the dominant model among online games for a reason. Dropbox is another example. Anything addictive that has the potential of hooking a customer long term. Noone is going to shelve out until they've put x…
A decade ago - ALL my friends were using direct connect. Few of them were nerds, most were barely computer literate. But free movies made them motivated enough to learn. Some even ran their own hubs even though they had…
This goes both ways. If it becomes commonplace, there will be a business in SEO'ing your social media profile. I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of facebook will consist of networks with good credit scores all…
It's hardly a language that will give you any new revalations in itself (if you already know the ones you mentioned). On the other hand, CL does have some grreeat books. Peter Norvig's and PG's books in particular are…
By the time strong AI rolls around, robots will probably be able to perform most tasks people could. It might not even need humans. And even if it did - humans are easy to bribe and manipulate. If an AI could outperform…
What really got me was the lack of context. Here's some math - learn this stuff. Had the teacher just taken a few minutes to explain "look these equations are used in machine learning and powers google", that might've…
Say you're into poker and a bank buys your data. You're now tagged as a gambler and considered a liability, so you will have a harder time getting a loan. A future employer could buy it and decide they don't like some…
